Greetings! I've been a residential and commercial loan officer since 2002, and have handled hundreds of successful closings.

   With lending guidelines changing on a seemingly daily basis, I've took it upon myself to remain current on lending guideline changes on a local and national level as they go into effect. In fact, I've dedicated a website, www.thefinancecorner.com , to mortgage basics, and keeping real estate professionals and potential buyers current on what they can expect when the time comes for obtaining financing. I try to keep all content objective enough that realtors and other mortgage professionals can refer their own clients to the site instead of spinning the content to promote myself and expand my own book of business.

   Feel free to take a look for yourself, and I'm always open to adding original content from other real estate professionals. Regular contributors could receive a banner ad for their services.

   Having worked on the retail side of finance, I've learned to appreciate the freedom and access to money that direct lenders cannot obtain, and the ability to offer my clients the lowest prices available. We are licensed in MN, and generate a surprising number of unsolicited purchase leads throughout the state. Presently, I have very few Realtor to refer these clients to, (especially in the West and South Metro, Duluth, Rochester, and Greater MN,) and leave them to fend for themselves. I would like to be able to have solid professionals to refer these people to, and in return creating a symbiotic relationship that will benefit us both.

    Some of what sets us apart as a company; we have cutting edge technology that allows for our clients to be pre-approved and complete their loan application online, a knowledgeable and friendly staff, quote interest rates over the phone, and top notch customer service. We go the extra mile by coordinating with your title company and allowing Realtors to track the status of their client's loan approval online.
